[pchelpers] Re: I run Spybot and get this:

Yes it does, very much so.

Actually, I do have the Sygate Firewall running and XP repeated says I 
don't have a firewall, so I go to the box that I can check the place to 
say that I have a firewall running and I'll monitor it myself.

Then a day later, the box will pop up and say that I don't have a 
firewall running. Even if I let the XP firewall run at the same time as 
Sygate, in a day or two a box will pop up saying that I don't have a 
firewall running.

Well, I've changed the registry setting from 0 to a 1 now, I'll see if 
it lets me alone for a while.

Isn't it interesting how we talk about the computer sometimes as if it's 
a living creature, even though we know it's nothing but ones and zeros.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
